The computer swallowed Grandma, yes honestly, it's true,

She pressed Control and Enter and disappeared from view.

It devoured her completely; the thought just makes me squirm,

She must have caught a virus or been eaten by a worm.

I've searched the whole Recycle Bin and files of every kind,

I've even used the Internet but nothing could I find.

In desperation I asked Jeeves my searches to refine.

The reply from him was negative, not a thing was found online.

Please Copy, Scan and Paste her and send her back to me.
